Conference Preview

What Makes This Conference SpecialThe 20th Annual Greenleaf Center International Con-

ference provides a unique opportunity for current and emerging leaders in business, higher education, health care,

government, non-profit organizations, and faith communities to focus on the ethical, practical, and meaning-

ful benefits of servant leadership. The conference will include:

• A Pre-Conference day (June 16) in Columbus, Georgia, with site visits, a luncheon, a keynote presentation, and eight afternoon workshops. Columbus is a “Servant-Leader City,” known for the implementation of servant leadership principles at companies such as Synovus and Aflac, both of which have been included in the Fortune magazine list of the “100 Best Companies to Work for in America.”

• Two full conference days (June 17 & 18) interacting with diverse leaders at various stages of their servant leadership journeys. The conference concludes with the Celebration Dinner on Friday night.

• Featured speakers who have proven in their own careers that servant-leadership is ethical, practical, and meaningful. They will challenge and inspire servant-leaders with their stories from business, government, and the non-profit sectors.

• Twenty-four workshops in which presenters and participants delve into case studies and best practices shared by representatives from real world organizations.

• Opportunities during breaks, meals, a community service project, and the “Affinity Group Meetings,” to interact informally with servant-leaders who are at various stages in their personal and organizational journeys.

What You Will Take Home With You• A sense of renewed energy & commitment.• A deeper understanding of the principles and practices of

servant leadership.• Practical new ideas to implement in your workplace or community.• A network of other practitioners whom you can reach out

to for support and advice during your journey of servant leadership.

• Resources from our servant leadership bookstore to read and share with friends and colleagues.

Why Attend This Conference?Servant leadership is a philosophy and set of practices that are ethical, practical, and meaningful. One does not have to choose between doing what is right and being successful, or between making money and finding meaning. Servant leadership unifies the ethical, practical, and meaningful into one coherent way of living and leading.

This conference will inspire and equip those who are new to servant leadership as well as those who have spent many years on the journey. Featured speakers will share what they have learned leading for-profit and non-profit organizations, while concurrent workshops will explore the implementation of servant leadership, personal development, ethics, and meaning. Wherever you are on your journey, and whatever your job or role or type of organiza-tion, you will find what you need to move forward personally and professionally in the face of today’s challenges.

The Courageous Follower: Partnering with Servant-Leaders

Ira Chaleff

In their organizational lives, individuals are not simply “leaders” or “followers”— they play both roles, up and down the hierarchy and laterally in teams and cross- functional work groups. What impact does a follower make when exhibiting the behaviors of courageous followership? This workshop will explore a dynamic model of partnering with servant-leaders, and bringing out the best in their leadership. Ira Chaleff is the author of The Coura-geous Follower: Standing Up To and For Our Leaders, now in its 3rd edition, and co-editor of The Art of Followership: How Great Followers Make Great Leaders and Organizations, part of the Warren Bennis Leadership Series. He was cited in the Har-vard Business Review as one of the three pioneers in the growing field of followership studies. Chaleff has also been named one of the “100 best minds on leadership” by Leadership Excellence magazine.

Board Servant Leadership from Intention to Performance

Servant leadership at the board level requires not only good in-tentions by individual members, but a design for governance that yields more than the sum of its parts. Organizational complexity and the pressures of time make a board’s ability to serve and to lead difficult, if not impossible, without a technology of gov-ernance that is as conceptually strong as the technologies used by the staffs that boards govern. In this workshop, John Carver will offer brief comments and then respond to participants’ questions. The focus will be on the need for a theory-based approach that enables boards to be good servants and good leaders. John Carver received his B.S. in business and econom-ics from the University of Tennessee, and his Ph.D. in clinical and research psychology from Emory University. In 1982 he began a consulting career based on his unique framework for board lead-ership called Policy Governance®, a framework that is consistent with servant leadership. Since that time Dr. Carver has published five books and over 200 articles on governance, and has consulted with organizations in Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Asia.

He will be joined by a panel of PPC employees who will discuss the ten servant leader-ship characteristics that Larry Spears derived from Greenleaf’s works. Each panel member will share examples of the ways in which they are developing a characteristic. The workshop participants will break into small groups to discuss a character-istic, and then report back to the group as a whole. The panel-ists from PPC will be Melissa Skiffington, Project Manager for PieperLine; Milo Johnson, General Foreman for PieperLine; Chris Moore, Branch Manager of Carolina Power; Andy Bell, Branch Su-pervisor for MetroPower Atlanta; Chris Surges, Branch Manager of Major Construction Pieper Electric; Chris Raiford, Project Manager for MetroPower Atlanta; Sylvester Jones, Management Trainee for MetroPower in Tallahassee, Florida; Kayanne Blackwell, Controller of MetroPower; Angela Bonnett, Human Resource Generalist of Pieper Electric; and Danny Gibson, Vice President of MetroPower.

Ethics Wisdom in Decision Making: Rediscovering the Three R’s of Leadership

One of the things that makes servant leadership distinctive is that it values wisdom as the basis of good decision-making. This workshop will address three conditions of wisdom: developing the habit of

reflection, which allows one to avoid self-deception; nurturing good relationships, which allows one to avoid cynicism; and practicing recreation, which allows one to stay refreshed and focused. The desired result is to see things clearly and not be confused by the distractions that come with change, doubt, and stress. Tom Thibodeau is Distinguished Profes-sor of Servant Leadership at Viterbo Univer-sity. In 2001, he was instrumental in coordi-nating an effort that led to the establishment of the Masters of Arts in Servant Leadership

program. Dr. Richard Kyte is Director of the D. B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leader-ship and Professor of Philosophy at Viterbo University. He is author of The Ethical Life, a biweekly newspaper column.

Love & Share ‘E-gi-e-ta’ Leadership of Ahn Changho

Ahn Changho was a Korean patriot who led the independence movement until his death in a Japanese prison in 1939. He founded three schools, and preached various aspects of leadership such as

honesty, love, and sharing. He lived for a time in California, where he worked with Korean immigrants. This workshop will highlight Ahn Changho’s leadership principles, which match the key elements of Greenleaf’s servant leadership concept. The workshop will also suggests several ways to train ‘e-gi-e-ta’ leaders in real life, and proposes international efforts to synthe-size various servant leadership concepts in the west as well as in the east. Dr. Sang-Mok Suh is currently Chairman of the Kyunggi Welfare Foundation. He was a member of the Korean National Assembly during 1988-2000, and Minister of Health and Welfare in the Korean Government during 1993-95.

The Relational Roots of Servant Leadership

Rev. Dr. Fred Burnham

Jesus’ concept of servant leadership was deeply rooted in a uniquely relational understanding of human existence. This workshop will explore the relational ontology implicit in his thought, because it is an integral component in the develop-ment and sustainability of virtually any servant community, secular or religious. The Rev. Dr. Fred Burnham, a Senior Fel-low of the Bennett J. Sims Institute for Servant Leadership, is an historian of science and an Episcopal priest. He spent 30 years

of his career in academia exploring the cultural implications of the new sciences. After his near-death experience on 9/11, he witnessed the spontaneous emergence of servant leaders all over ground zero. Ever since then he has devoted himself to the study of the unique character of servant communities. Martin Darby, born and raised in England, retired in 2006 as CEO of the US operation of Coates Inks, a global print-ing ink manufacturer headquartered in England, to become President and Executive Director of the Bennett J. Sims Institute for Servant Leadership.

Kiwanis Key Leader Program

Dick Peterson

Robert Greenleaf saw the importance of teaching servant leader-ship to students. He emphasized this idea in his writings Teacher as Servant, Education and Maturity, and The Leadership Crisis: A Message for College and University Faculty. This workshop will look at ways to put Greenleaf’s ideas into practice, focus-ing on higher education while also touching on programs for elementary through high school students. Knies has interned for the Greenleaf Center, JDLevy and Associates, and Huntingburg Foundation, and is a lifetime member of Girl Scouts. She is a senior at DePauw University, where she is in her fourth year as a Bonner Scholar, a community service scholarship program. Through her work at DePauw’s civic engagement center, The Hartman House, she has learned about, implemented, and experi-enced the impact of servant leadership.

Since 2005, more than 10,000 high school students through the world have learned the tenets of service leadership from Ki-wanis Key Leader—a weekend leadership retreat for high school students — that begins with an exploration of the call by Robert Greenleaf to live servant leadership in our daily lives. This workshop will utilize parts of the curriculum in an interactive format that will explore the concepts which are as pertinent to all adults as well as students. Dick Peterson joined the staff of Kiwanis International in June 2004 to be the Manager of the new Key Leader program. After secondary teaching experience in suburban St. Louis, he began full-time work as a youth camp administrator in 1975.

The African Moral Tradition as a Resource for Leader-ship Education: Developing Ethical Leaders for America

This workshop will examine a theoretical leadership approach supportive of academic rigor, social responsibility, cultural awareness, ethics/compliance regulations and global inclusion. It will serve as the “tapestry” for re-designing work to address ethics within global academic programs, research, and curricu-lum development. This leadership approach can also be used as a tool for determining how reactive our ethical centers will be to societal “temperature changes” from a moral and global perspective. Three points of focus will be shared, derived from an ethical leadership model based on character, civility, and community, as tangible solutions used to heal a nation suffering from a ruptured ethical center. Dr. Melvinia Turner King is Assistant Professor and Coordinator of the Leader-ship Studies Minor at Morehouse College. Dr. Walter Earl Fluker is Coca-Cola Professor and Executive Director of the Leadership Center at Morehouse College.

Dr. Dail Fields

“Servant and Leader. Can these two roles be fused in one real person, in all levels of status or calling? If so, can that person live and be productive in the real world of the present? My sense of

the present leads me to say yes to both questions. This paper [the essay, Servant as Leader] is an attempt to explain why and

to suggest how. “

Can Servant Leadership Work in Federal Government?

The Wage and Investment Division (W & I) of the IRS is com-prised of 50,000 employees. The senior leaders have started to implement servant leadership as part of their management philosophy. This workshop will describe their journey. The challenges include (1) helping managers to embrace the servant leadership concept; (2) helping managers to share their power with employees; (3) identifying the ways in which servant leadership drives performance; and (4) learning how the gov-ernment can serve the public effectively with this concept. Rick Byrd is the Commissioner of W&I, which serves approximately 122 million customers, accounting for 94 million tax returns. Before being named as Commissioner in 2008, Rick served as Deputy Commissioner for a year. Prior to that, he was the Director, Field Compliance Services, and the Special Agent in Charge for the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administra-tion, Office of Investigations. President Bush honored Rick for Outstanding Community Service Volunteer Work in a White House ceremony, and he was recognized for teaching ethics in high schools in Chicago and Washington, DC.

The ‘Practice’ of Servant Leadership

A “practice” is a discipline of daily life aimed at improving one’s skills or character. Servant leadership is ideal for such a practice. Leaders can explore in depth their own commitment to servant leadership and what it means to them in the everyday business world. This workshop will look at the key concepts, as well as the practicalities of setting up and running groups devoted to practice. Ralph is a Leadership Development consultant and a Programme Director at London Business. He is also the Chair of the UK Greenleaf Centre for Servant-Leadership, co-founded by John Noble and himself. Lewis worked as an engineer and systems analyst before becoming a university lecturer at Cranfield School of Management and moving into Leadership Develop-ment. He has worked with the top management teams of many

international companies in computing, pharmaceutical, finance, public and charities sectors and has worked extensively in Europe, USA, Asia and Africa. He has also written many articles on leader-ship development and several books. He was co-editor of Servant-Leadership: Bringing the Spirit of Work to Work.

Facilitative, Servant Leadership: Equip, Engage, Empower

The current work, community, and family climate calls for leaders who can facilitate the growth of individual participants and build a trusting and respectful dynamic within the team, while ensuring that important work is accomplished. This in-teractive workshop will help facilitative servant-leaders fill their tool boxes with practical approaches to these challenges. Mary

Jo Clark and Pat Heiny help organizations and communities to develop effective 21st Century leadership and visions. Their clients have included Wayne Hospital in Ohio; the Tennessee Valley Authority in Knoxville; the American Express Call Center in Greensboro; and the Kansas Health Foundation. Clark has served on the faculties of Wayne State University, Miami Uni-versity, Southern Connecticut State College and Indiana Univer-sity East, and Heiny has taught Adult Basic Education.

The Council of Equals

George SanFacon

Larry Spears

Robert Greenleaf called upon servant-leaders to be first among

equals on a council of equals, rather than a “lone chief atop a

hierarchical pyramid.” This session will emphasize the practical;

that is, how to apply these concepts in your life, workplace,

and organization. George SanFacon served as Director of the

Housing Facilities Department at the University of Michigan

from 1983 to 2004, where he pioneered the implementation

of a council-of-equals governance model. He is the author of A

Conscious Person’s Guide to the Workplace. Larry C. Spears is

SanFacon and Spears are co-authors of the essay, “Holistic

Servant-Leadership.”

How to Be A Servant-Leader When Your Boss Isn’t

Rebecca Nordeman

Joe Drouin

“What if I want to be a servant-leader, but my boss doesn’t ‘buy in’ to the servant-leader approach?” This workshop will answer that question. Rebecca Nordeman has been working with both public and private sector professionals in their unique work

environments for 20 years. Her work has taken her to 15 countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Africa. Joe Drouin is Senior Vice President and Chief Information Of-ficer for Kelly Services Inc., a world leader in human resources solutions headquartered in Troy, Michigan.

This workshop will address key pedagogical issues in the teaching of servant leadership, including the relationship between servant leadership as an attitude toward the world and as a set of practices, how to improve people’s practices of servant leadership, and the role of individual and organi-zational “learning” in servant leadership. Edward Queen is director of the D. Abbott Turner Program in Ethics and Ser-vant Leadership and Coordinator of Undergraduate Studies at Emory University’s Center for Ethics. Queen received his B.A. from Birmingham-Southern College, his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, and his J.D. from the Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis.

The program’s mission is to prepare globally conscious servant-leaders who are grounded in the deepening of human knowledge and the commitment to social justice and ethical practices. The work-shop will describe the origin and development of the doctoral program, the substance of the curricular experiences, and an assessment of the program’s progress during its first three years.
